During the school's entire history there have been only six boys' varsity basketball coaches at Phillips Academy. The tradition started by Frank "Deke" DiClemente so many years ago continues. Currently, the basketball program competes in the most demanding league in the country, NEPSAC.

There have been scores of current college players and All-Americans who started in our league. Phillips Academy has added many current players to the college ranks. Our graduates have played at virtually every level of NCAA basketball. It is with great pride that we prepare our graduates for the next level.
